Chapter 134: Joy and Laughter

The arrival of the New Year is not far away, and they are shouting for a happy gathering, infinitely sighing about the past.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan endured the torture for almost an hour before they were put down, thinking that the arm of the person holding it was too sore to stand it.

It was almost time to eat, and the three Zhuangzi people gathered together to talk about what life was like in the past, how it is now, and what it will be like in the future, and their faces were filled with happy smiles.

Especially the Zhuang households of the Zhang and Wang families, it seems that they have forgotten what happened yesterday, and when talking to the people of the Li family, they did not forget to call their respective children over and focus on the children, they have a reason to do so, the children are all studying in the school, of course, they have to behave well.

Li Zhuangzi also has a school, but the child has a short time to learn, and there are not so many people in charge, it is very scattered, and the learning is not as good as the two families of Zhang Wang, the only thing that reassures the Zhuang on the Li family Zhuangzi is that Li Xun, the little waiting master, has never been less than a child in eating and drinking.

As soon as there were more people, it was not so cold, and there were people sitting in the corners, and they took off their clothes outside, and there was a brazier in each room, and the temperature was not low.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were led by the maid to Zhang Wang's place, Zhang's father was also there, and there were grandparents, Zhang Wang's family has not seen that Aunt Wang until now, I don't know if Aunt Wang forgot, or there are other reasons, and they haven't found here.

These houses are surrounded by Li Xun and the old man's guards, only the dozen or so officials who have left here have not left, and are still guarding here, and the other officials have left happily after Jia Xianling and others were escorted away yesterday, holding a large number of New Year's goods issued by Zhangjia Zhuangzi.

Originally, I didn't want it, but the Zhang family had to send it out, tossing back and forth, or in order to protect the Zhang and Wang families, and not give some things to go back for a good year, the Zhang family felt uncomfortable, even these dozen or so left officials also went home yesterday to send things.

Dumplings are to be eaten in the evening, and now on the table in front of everyone, there is a simple hot pot, cut meat, and some green vegetables, which are served on a plate, and a jar of wine is also placed next to it, and the drinker will take it himself, as long as he does not drink too much.

The heads of the two Zhuangzi of King Zhang and Li Xun said a word, and everyone began to eat, chatting while eating, and the sky gradually darkened at this time.

The people arranged by Steward Zhang immediately lit the torches on the Zhuangzi, and there were a lot of lanterns hanging in each house.

Later, when the people who came to Zhuangzi heard Yuan Xi, what the head of the Zhang family said, they all became excited, they already knew that Zhuangzi was good, but they didn't expect it to be so good.

The old man and Li Xun also heard this, this meal, the old man did not eat in the water and clouds, and waited for a while to finish eating before going back, this was his plan.

"The head of the house doesn't look like the head of the house, how can he eat that meal with the farmer? He also lit torches and said that they would light up the sky together. ”

When others were admiring, there was only one person who was looking for fault, that is, the aunt of the Wang family, the big jujube and the small jujube were eating happily, and when she heard Aunt Wang's words, she suddenly had the idea of wanting to hide away, afraid that the farmers would be affected when they attacked the second time.

It seemed that she had said the wrong thing, Aunt Wang looked around, and saw that she was not staring at her, so she was relieved, but she came over yesterday and saw the battle, she wanted to meet Zhang Xiaobao yesterday, but something happened to delay it until today, she didn't want to be besieged.

This meal was eaten for two hours amid laughter, and after a little more than an hour, it was midnight, that is, next year.

The finished food was cleaned up by the people who ate it, and some people put tea and a few small snacks on the table, so that everyone could wait until the evening.

The old man was happy today, drank two more bowls of wine, said a lot of words, his face was ruddy, and he was about to leave here to return to the water and clouds, when the individuals taught by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan appeared on the platform set up in the afternoon.

First of all, there was a song and dance, the old man and Li Xun didn't feel anything, it was really bad, but the other farmers were different, where did they usually have the opportunity to see this, and they were all concentrated.

When the song and dance were almost over, the old man had already stood up, and before he could leave the house, two more people came up from there and began to talk about cross talk.

It was a new thing to them, they had never seen it before, and they let out a burst of laughter from time to time as they heard the two men on the stage talking.

The old man had never seen this thing, so he had to sit down again, sip tea, digest food, and watch the performance.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were a little nervous, afraid that the people who taught them would smash the performance on stage, and the two people who talked about cross talk, whenever there was a pause that should not appear, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan clenched their fists.

Others don't know the pause, thinking that it should be like this, Zhang's father is usually not smiling, at this time listening to the cross talk was also amused by the words when the bucket was wrapped, the people of the Wang family and the people of the Zhang family sat together, listening, watching, knowing that this thing was made by two children, and praised from time to time.

"Sister, your little treasure, it's really amazing, look at this called cross talk, it's great, Juan Juan will be happy in the future." The Queen Mother glanced at Zhang Xiaobao and said to Zhang Wang.

Zhang Wangshi was happy to hear it, and also said, "Juan Juan is not simple, look at those songs and dances, I have never seen them before." ”

Zhang Wang's words are not so sincere, it is better to praise singing and dancing than to praise Wang Juan for being able to teach others to sing and dance at such a young age, she has seen a lot before, and she herself is not bad, but she has never skipped in front of outsiders, unless she is happy, dance for Zhang's father, add some boudoir fun.

A few people were talking here, and the old man also decided not to leave for now, waiting to finish reading before leaving, and his family also watched it with relish.

That Aunt Wang wanted to say that this singing and dancing was not good several times, but she didn't dare to speak, so she held back.

No one expected that after this performance started, there was no intention of stopping, those who performed each recorded several, and when Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan checked, they usually carried out several groups together, and the two of them just watched.

If this situation continues, the performance may not be finished at dawn tomorrow, and these performers will intersperse the time, and if the waiting time is long, they will first go to the place specially prepared for them to take a nap for a while, after all, the performance is different from the watching.

"The girl of the Wang family, have you seen it? This is the Zhang family's ability, during the Chinese New Year, which Zhuangzi can make such a thing? Especially the one called cross talk and sketches, and there are those who specially stand up to introduce the program for New Year's greetings, let alone Zhuangzi, and there is no one in the palace. ”

The old man didn't want to leave now, leaned on a chaise longue specially prepared for him, and said to Aunt Wang, who was also attracted.

Li Xun echoed on the side: "What Lord Shangshu said is that I was either in the palace or in the mansion for the New Year a few years ago, except for playing the piano and singing and dancing, it was a few people who chanted poetry, and it was not interesting at all, it was better here, I didn't expect them to come up with such a fresh thing, I must tell Uncle Huang when I go back." ”

Aunt Wang stopped talking at this time, not that she felt that she was wrong, but that she was playing a sketch on stage, and she was attracted to it, she obviously heard what the two people said, but she couldn't find time to say it, so she could only smile and nod her head at the two people, making people think that she knew that what she had done was wrong before.

Watching the show, time flies, it seems that in the blink of an eye, it is already time, the show stops, the dumplings start to cook, and the firecrackers are also hanged.

The things made at home, of course, will not be as reluctant to use as bought outside, and the firecrackers with more than three million sounds, plus some simple fireworks, sounded and flew in the sound of New Year's greetings.

More than 3 million firecrackers are divided into 20 parts, one 150,000 sounds, fireworks one after another rose to the sky, the sound of firecrackers does not seem to stop, the little babies cover their ears and move forward, there jumping and screaming.

Waiting for the sound of firecrackers to disappear, everyone only felt that their heads were buzzing, but none of them complained, they thought simply, burning firecrackers is to drive away something, the movement of this firecracker is so loud, I think there will be no more things that should not come out.

"It's delicious, this dumpling is so delicious." The farmers are really good, seeing the dumplings served, some dipped in leek flowers, some dipped in fermented bean curd, and some dipped in garlic sauce or spicy sauce, two bites of one, and then drank some dumpling soup, and praised it with a long breath.

Zhang Wang's two Zhuangzi Zhuang households are better, after all, they usually eat not badly, if you want to eat dumplings, you can wrap them once in two or three days, eating dumplings with different tastes, thinking about the good of the main family.

The Li family is not comparable, Li Xun did give a lot of benefits to the villagers, but what he gave was different from what Zhang and Wang gave, he gave things directly, and if there was something, he sent something for people to take back to eat, or if it was done, everyone ate together.

In addition to the usual festivals and heavy work, the two Zhuangzi also help the villagers raise livestock and poultry, and the idlers at home also arrange some small handicrafts, no matter which one, can increase their income.

The people of Li Zhuangzi don't dare to make dumplings to play when they have nothing to do, the noodles are expensive enough, and they have to put meat, don't put meat and only take vegetable dumplings, but unfortunately the noodles are gone, and the oil can't be put so much.

"Where's our dumplings?" Wang Juan asked the person serving dumplings at this time, she and Zhang Xiaobao don't like to eat such greasy things, when they are small, they are to grow their bodies, and now they can use other things to supplement nutrition.
